m&m’s Chicks

Sunday morning, this chick was born … in my head, anyway … then things went array … life almost got in the way of its birth.

I made and drank coffee.

I found a puddle of honey in a kitchen cabinet … what a mess! Warning – do not turn an almost empty, tightly closed, squeeze bottle of honey upside down … it will probably leak.

I made waffles.

Son #3 (working on masters degree) asked the Peanut Butter Man and me to proofread a final paper on American bureaucracy! Yes, me … the person who uses terms like easy peasy and super simple!!! What was he thinking? I put on my glasses and pulled out my highlighter … like I knew what I was doing 😉

I made macaroni salad, while the Peanut Butter Man was under the kitchen sink trying to repair the leak … it is so nice that he is a handy man! I was the plumbing assistant … as in – hold this, twist that, pass me a towel.

I made lunch for the plumberhubby Peanut Butter Man.

There was no water in the kitchen for 3 hours and the bucket is still under the sink … parts are ordered.

Finally … about 4:00 the birth of the chick began … no eggs involved!

Let me show you how easy peasy and super simple it is to make these chicks …

Now them are just darn right adorably cute..
On your cupcakes, you could always color some coconut in green,sprinkle some on top and then set your chicks in the ‘grass’. Might help in keeping them from sliding off that way.
Let’s see, I think I’ll ‘wing’ :} it and maybe do some with wings and some without. Getting right down to it, I must say I Do like the wings.

luv the little chicks such a cute idea, both are cute wings and without wings, luv colleen’s idea too sprinkle some coconut for grass….not sure if i can reach the stage of a chick though, cause as the M&M bag is open its popped in my mouth….:)

Your posts bring so much JOY! Love how you share about your family and involve them in your “passion.” I vote for the wings – what if you rounded them more? I am going to try this one! The cupcake finale is icing on the cake! Ha! Also, you could make a nest – out of chow mein noodles coated w/butterscotch chips? Or coconut flakes, Special K ??? Can’t wait for you next moment of “downtime” when you delight us all again! Thank you for sharing your gift – and it truly is a gift!!

Gotta “pin” this one – I love the wings but I’m clumsy when drawing on stuff life round food so mine will probably need to be without wings because this 73-yr-old definitely has to make a bunch of these for quickie Easter give-away’s – it also means I will be forced, yes, forced to eat those other peanut m&m’s – the ones that are not chick-colored but it’s a sacrifice I will have to make (sigh).

Thanks for the heads’ up about the remaining m&m’s (if they do, indeed, exist)…can’t wait. I gave up chocolate for Lent and will go nutz on it as of Easter Sunday…again, these are adorable – can’t wait to get the edible marker – have to find one of those.

OMG, these are just too cute for words! I vote for wings, naturally 😉 , and will try to save the other Ms for your next rumored project. Visiting from I Heart Naptime, new follower and I’m pinning this — thanks!
